1Opinion of the CourtLoughran, J.
The claimant, Fannie Lurye, was employed as a saleswoman in a department store. “ On October 15, 1932, while the said Fannie Lurye was engaged in the regular course of her employment and while working for her employer, showing coats to a customer, a fellow-employee switched on an electric fan, which caused a draft to be blown upon her, causing her to sustain a chill, resulting in Bell’s Palsy, and as a result of which she became disabled.” On this finding the claim for an award of workmen’s compensation has been dismissed on the authority of Matter of Lerner v. Rump Bros. (241 N. Y. 153).
